Additional question: when starting the daemon from the cli, does it terminate?

Why use /bin/bash in your ExecStart directive? You can just specify the path to your daemon.

/bin/bash expects a script, not a binary, which your daemon most probably is…

This is exactly the same question I asked 3 years ago when my brother died, and left all his tech stuff to his non-tech wife and kids.

Fortunately I was able to migrate whatever was important to cloud-based services.

But what will happen if this happens to me? I have no other siblings, and I made it a habit not consorting with techies: I don’t like nerds 😉, and I prefer to talk about other subjects in my spare time.

One of the reasons I used to self host a lot is privacy, and because I am an Open Source advocate. So I migrated everything important to commercial offerings which supported both, or at least the Privacy part.

I share a passwords through a password manager with my wife and kids, which gives them the keys to the kingdom. They can use my master password to unlock the doors. I also keep a paper with my most important passwords in a place my wife knows about, and can access without any proof of my death. Joint safes in the bank typically get sealed until the tax people have released the accounts.

Everything which I host myself now is disposable, and my wife knows she can turn it off without a second thought.

The I can only recommend you to start automating everything you do, to make tour job easier and make more time to slack 😝

Start small, and build on that.

Try Ansible, it is easy and allows you to do some really cool stuff. It helped me migrate 500+ systems from KVM to vmware, where no commercial tool was able to help me…

There is nothing more important than security patches on a system.

I used to work at an FMI, which’s motto was “keep things stable”. Even the ciso department bought that crap. Until we hired a white hat hacker. The only thing given was the name of the company. He managed to get into the building, access an employee’s workstation and install a root kit on one of the most important financial message tracking systems (you know, the one that instructs other systems to transfer money), using a security bug, which would have been patched if they kept a regular (security) update cycle. After shit hit the fan, many people were fired and an update cycle was introduced.

No system is important enough to not patch. And if you believe it is, you’re wrong.

We are not the same.

Logicians is the keyword here… There are only 2 possible answers: yes (true) or no (false)
